Hey everyone, 2 - 3dpo ( I think! ) today and last night I experienced a sharp shooting pain twice in my right side ovary, felt ovulation pain a few days ago prior to this too so not sure if it's a sign something is happening in there! Lol
How are you all feeling? Would be nice to have some girls who are going through the same dpo so we can discuss symptoms and be there for eachother during the dreaded TWW 😅

Also merry Christmas everyone 🎄

Good luck with the test tomorrow @WideOpenSpaces Let us know how you get on! And enjoy tonight xx

WideOpenSpaces · 31/12/2022 10:24

10DPO here and due on today. No sign of AF yet. I had a clear negative yesterday morning but I've got sore boobs and I had a dizzy spell yesterday afternoon so I'm going to test again tomorrow after enjoying my NYE !

vitahelp · 31/12/2022 09:56

I’ve had a BFN this morning too, 12dpo here. I was starting to convince myself I could be pregnant yesterday as my temps have stayed quite steady for 3 days and aren’t dropping very low yet and my lower back has been sore (this was an early sign for me when I was pregnant with my daughter). I’m not surprised at the BFN but did actually have my hopes up.

@Gabby82 Sorry about your BFN. Enjoy your treats tonight xx

Gabby82 · 31/12/2022 07:53

BFN at 10dpo this morning. Consoling myself with extra coffee at breakfast and plans for cheese, pate and wine tonight. Won't test again now unless AF late. Good luck anyone else testing today.

vitahelp · 30/12/2022 20:11

@MrsC2018 I’m sorry you haven’t seen progression on your tests, I hope you’re okay.

@anon1411 I didn’t any spotting this time but when I came off the pill when I was trying CPD my daughter I did get a lot of spotting for the first 6 weeks, so it could be that. Obviously I do hope it is an implantation bleed you’re having though, I didn’t have one when I was pregnant but it seems to be quite common. I hadn’t heard of ovulation bleeding and haven’t had it myself, I just get cramps. Hopefully things will be a bit clearer for you in the next few days, fingers crossed it is implantation bleeding!

Gabby82 · 30/12/2022 13:59

@MrsC2018 fingers crossed for you 🤞

Gabby82 · 30/12/2022 13:58

So sorry to hear that @BabyBx. I'd test again in a few days as other said. Look after yourself, TTC is so tough x

anon1411 · 30/12/2022 12:16

I'm sorry to hear what you're going through @BabyBx I've been there before and it's horrible 🥺.

anon1411 · 30/12/2022 12:14

I thought I ovulated 28th December- I'm purely going by an app as this is my first cycle after coming off the pill- already had my withdrawal bleed. But the whole month I've been a bit crampy on and off so who actually knows- I don't track it with tests or temps etc.

Last night I went to the toilet 3 or 4 times within the space of 3 hours and each time when I wiped it was a brown, light brown colour. I had quite bad cramps alongside this but they subsided after an hour or so. This morning I've woken up feeling just under the weather and both toilet trips I've had the same when wiping.

Could I have got my dates mixed up and this be IB? Or Ovualtion Spotting? Has anyone experienced Ov Spotting?

MrsC2018 · 30/12/2022 11:47

@BabyBx I'm sorry, it's worse when your hopes have been raised like that.

I'm quiet as I'm just getting faint lines. Way too faint for 12dpo imo so clearly if it's real it's not progressing so just waiting for the inevitable and we'll try again next month

thenugget · 30/12/2022 11:38

@BabyBx so sorry to hear that. Sending hugs ♥️

vitahelp · 30/12/2022 11:20

@BabyBx I’m so sorry. Take it easy today and good idea treating yourself to yummy treats and a few drinks.
My temp rose marginally today but is still on the low side so quite certain AF will be here soon.

Rae9 · 30/12/2022 10:36

@BabyBx I am so sorry 😞 if the bleeding stops or is unusual to your period then test again just incase. I am also waiting for AF now.

BabyBx · 30/12/2022 10:03

Hi everyone.. just wanted to update I had another positive very faint yesterday, woke up today with dark red blood 😔
I aren't sure what's happend but I was due my period on new years day so it's come early. I am sat here crying now 😔 I have the day off so I'm going to eat chocolate and have a few drinks later I think 😔 wishing you all the best of luck ❤

@Gabby82 I hope you’re right.. if my temp drops again tomorrow I’m definitely out though, it would be textbook drop towards AF for me..wishing the night away now so I can find out! You’re doing really well holding off testing, I’ve also managed to hold off so far but mainly because I’ve only got one test in and hoping to save for NYE.

I also only have one test so need to use it strategically, otherwise if probably have caved! Good luck with the morning temping. I never got into that and wouldn't have a clue what I was looking for... may have to start next cycle if I'm out this one. 🤞🌡️

@Rae9 Im sorry about your negative test. It’s so hard isn’t it. Yes I’ll be doing the same, did the food shop today and bought even more unhealthy food to top up what we already have in!!
I can feel a very light cramping this evening which is getting me hopes up slightly but it isn’t unheard of for me to start cramping lightly a few days before AF, need to keep reminding myself of that!

Rae9 · 29/12/2022 15:31

I hope you’re right @Gabby82 I’m just not holding out much hope as I used a frer and didn’t even get the false positive everyone talks about on those tests.

Gabby82 · 29/12/2022 15:00

@Rae9 @vitahelp hopefully just too early still?

I'm 8dpo today. Bit nauseous (probably from eating too much) and bit tired (probably from late nights and children that don't sleep) but otherwise feeling normal. Trying to hold off until 1st to test but may test 31st.

Rae9 · 29/12/2022 13:17

@vitahelp I couldn’t help myself and took an early detection pregnancy test this morning which was super negative… so my symptoms I am now also certain are AF, also due in 3 days 😔 I am sorry you feel AF is coming for you too, I know how you are feeling. I’m going to get all the festive cheese and wine I didn’t drink or eat over Christmas and make the most of the next couple of days. Try again next month! Good luck to you all x

vitahelp · 29/12/2022 10:07

Morning ladies, I hope everyone is ok today. I used my new thermometer this morning and my temp has dropped quite a lot so I’m quite certain I’m out. I’m 10dpo today so could still be an implantation dip but it looks more like classic drop towards AF which is due in 3 days. Feel gutted, thought I might be in with a chance this month.

OneHundredOtters · 28/12/2022 21:44

I can definitely see something. I really hope it's darker in the morning.

I'm symptom spotting like mad today. Really tired, a bit nauseous and some cramping. Could all just be AF though. I do really hate this bit!

cdn298 · 28/12/2022 19:18

I am 5dpo and had some red blood earlier and then some brown just now. God knows what's going on x

Gabby82 · 28/12/2022 18:43

BabyBx · 28/12/2022 16:01

@vitahelp awww honestly I'd rather you tell me the truth and your experience with those tests rather than hold it back. So thank you!! :) I hope you enjoy your NYE! And I have my fingers crossed for your test 🤞🤞 ! I would like a few drinks too, I've been so poorly these past few days though with the dreaded cold 🥺
@MrsMotts omg I love cheese. You can never have to much!! 😍

I know I need to stop peeing on sticks as its only early but.. look 🥺

I can see something on all your tests. Really hoping they develop into something definite. Next few days should give you an answer, got everything crossed. 🤞

MrsMotts · 28/12/2022 18:28

@BabyBx im a complete POAS addict so I totally get it - I can defo see something - just have to keep testing to look for progression.
I never found the cheapies helpful last time but the FRER were really good for showing me line progression (and sadly line regression for me last month) but actually I’d rather have been prepared for it so I found it better for me to know what was coming.

hopefully you’ll just keep getting darker and darker 🥰
